Center for Injectors and Sources, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

Our Mission

To develop and maintain high performance electron sources and injectors for particle accelerators. Our responsibilities include the 12 GeV Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) polarized photo-injector, the Low Energy Research Facility (LERF) High Current ERL, the Gun Test Stand (GTS) and the Upgrade Injector Test Facility (UITF). Our work revolves around the production of both polarized and unpolarized electron and positron beams with special interest in high voltage DC guns, RF synchronized lasers, high vacuum, novel photocathodes, and precision polarimetry.

CIS members are (l to r) Matt Poelker (Group Leader), Joe Grames, Bubba Bullard, Marcy Stutzman, John Hansknecht, Shukui Zhang, Carlos Hernandez-Garcia, Phil Adderley, Riad Suleiman.

What's new?!?
October 2016 - The P3 organizing committee is pleased to announce that Jefferson Laboratory will be hosting the next Photocathode Physics for Photoinjectors (P3) Workshop, October 17th-19th 2016. Feel free to visit our group area for recent Conference and Workshop contributions here: '''CIS Conference and Workshop Proceedings'''.
